Thanks for the reply's everyone. Parameters are all good, I've been battling low alk for a while but it's never below 7 dkh. There is nothing in the area that could sting it. I upgraded lights from 175w MH to 250w MH but that was about a month ago. Could it take that long to see adverse affects? All other corals are doing fine. It was doing very well and had grown from 4 heads to 15 and then over the last 48hrs this has happened.

Likely not the alk as that is close to NSW. 175 to 250 is actually a big jump. I would move it to a location that is less bright with only med flow. Separate the healthy from the dying ASAP.

Um... That really doesn't look like a candycane. Looks more like a branching bubble coral

I would also move it lower in the tank. Frag off the dead parts and try to target feed it.
